Who is Goku black?
Although commonly known as Black (ブック Burakku), Goku Black (ゴクウブック Goku Burakku), also known as Zamasu (ザマس Zamasu), is a version of Zamasu from the unchanged main timeline within Universe 10. is an alternative expression. He was a former Northern Kai and Supreme Kai apprentice serving his old master Gowasu. In the "Future" Trunks Saga of Dragon Ball Super, he plays the primary antagonist.
Goku Black's wish to switch bodies with Goku from the unchanged primary timeline within Reality 7 is fulfilled by Super Shenron after Black travels to Universe 6, visits the Super Dragon Balls from that reality, and summons Super Shenron from that timeline. Went. Goku Black and his parallel self, Future Zamasu, set out to destroy all beings.
When he first arrived in Future Trunks' timeline, he took on Goku. However, Future Bulma gave him the nickname "Goku Black" due to the obvious stylistic and color differences between Black's and Goku's costumes. He adopted this name even after revealing his real identity.
Concept and Creation:
In an interview with Akira Toriyama, it was revealed that the "imitation of a hero" concept found in media such as the Kamen Rider franchise's "False Kamen Rider" and the Ultraman series' "False Ultra Man" served as the basis for Goku Black. Worked in. Inspiration.
Appearence:
His basic appearance is similar to his counterpart in the future timeline: he is a taller than average Kai with a slim build, green skin, and a white mouth. However, she wore a matching pair of green potara earrings with a gold chain after killing her previous master Gowasu. The Saiyan body underwent some physical changes after Super Shenron from the unchanged main timeline within Universe 6 fulfilled Goku Black's wish to trade bodies with Goku from the unchanged main timeline within Universe 7. Even though Goku Black hasn't changed that much, he now has a much darker complexion and his eyes are a bit thinner as well as more "defined".
As well as being a dark shade of black, his hair only has three back and four front spikes. After his wish of switching bodies with the Saiyan came true, he began dressing as Supreme Kai, but soon changed into a gray doggie, black turtleneck undershirt, black slacks, and spiked white shoes. While he wore the other earring on his left ear, he also gave the right potara earring to his future counterpart. While his manga counterpart is tasked with wearing it, he also wears a time ring on his right index finger in the anime. Additionally, he has the same thick black outlines around his eyes that were under control in the manga.
Personality:
As Zamasu, he was a calm and patient individual who was willing to listen to his teacher before succumbing to his darker tendencies. But for a long time he held a deep hatred towards humans, considering them the greatest mistake and blasphemy ever committed by the gods. He developed a deep hatred towards the gods because they did nothing to correct his "mistake". Zamasu's first step on the dark path was the brutal murder of his former master after succumbing to his passion. Zamasu feels completely vindicated and despite his violent, aggressive, and undoubtedly unsympathetic actions towards his own species, actually sees no evil in his actions. In search of evidence that there is a corruption of mortal existence that prevents it from evolving into a true paradise, he discovered multiple timelines.
Like Android 13, who also uses the mortals' flaws to excuse his massacre, he uses the mortals' flaws as scapegoats for his crimes, and uses Future Trunks's violation of time travel as an excuse for himself and Future Zamasu claims this as justification for his immoral purpose of eliminating all life. He thinks that the only reason humanity has survived so long is because the gods are too egotistical to admit that they made a mistake by creating mortal beings. Additionally, he expressed his attraction to the Saiyans by wishing to trade bodies with Goku within Universe 7, rather than using the Super Dragon Balls from the unchanged main timeline within Universe 6 to wish for the eradication of humans. This means that he himself wanted to destroy humans, Because he felt personally accountable for it, and treated it as if he were God Almighty.
During his first battle with Goku as Black, Goku Black still acts with the grace and courtesy of his past life. However, overall, he became more emotional when his dream of prostitution with the Saiyan came true. After transforming into Goku Black he acquired several personality traits that were the opposite of his host body. He shares many traits with his future counterpart, including intense sadism, callousness, bloodlust, and hypocrisy. Even though he feels it is "justice" to kill most Earthlings, including Bulma, he still displays extreme bloodlust. He enjoys watching Goku from the main timeline of Universe 7 become angry at him for killing Goten and Chi-Chi from that Universe's original main timeline. Goku Black exhibits cruelty and relentless brutality, as evidenced by the way he mercilessly torments his enemies and targets in an effort to prolong their suffering. For example, consider the time he broke Future Trunks' arm and unleashed a barrage of ki blasts on his helpless opponent. Due to his new love of combat and his desire to become stronger with every blow to his new physique, Black has slight masochistic tendencies and enjoys it when others hurt him. This feature appears to be partially influenced by Goku from the timeline mentioned in the mentioned universe. He is somewhat insane and sometimes laughs uncontrollably, as demonstrated when he first encountered Goku from the main timeline in that universe. He exhibits sudden mood swings, as evidenced by his explanation of why he wants to exterminate all beings.
Even though he is eager to kill anyone, he still enjoys and desires to wage war against formidable opponents. He will also use all his strength to keep the fun of the fight longer, always keeping his strength slightly ahead of his opponent. Black, who vowed to find Future Trunks after escaping into the past, possesses the same unbreakable resolve as Goku from the original primary timeline within that realm. Although his entire life as Goku Black has been a shortcut to power – a marked difference from his counterpart – he still has Goku's basic sense of independence and wants to become stronger through hard work rather than taking shortcuts. Unlike Future Zamasu, Black openly expresses his distaste for immortality, believing it to be an ideal quality worthy of a god. He is arrogant; When he initially unveiled his Super Saiyan Rose form, he said that it was magnificent and towered over "the entire universe", asking Goku to celebrate as he had brought himself to the pinnacle of beauty.
Black's personality in the manga is quite different from that in the anime. In the manga Black is more likely to lose his composure when things don't go his way, however in the anime Black always maintains his composure and never loses it, even when losing a fight. He loses his battle with Vegeta from the main timeline in that universe, and he is defeated and enraged. Their opposing battle methods also reflect differences in their personalities. In the anime, Black delivers his attacks with style and flamboyance. Black's fighting style in the manga is more aggressive and he prefers to defeat his opponents with full force. The reason for the difference in personality is presumably that Black never had any personal relationship with Goku in the manga before their meeting in the alternate timeline.
Ultimately, this meant that none of Goku's characteristics – such as his calmness in battle or his enthusiasm for battle – were not present. Similarly, his relationship with Future Zamasu differed significantly between the manga and anime. Later, he actually thought of Future Zamasu as a relative ally. In the manga, Future Zamasu was seen by Goku Black as nothing more than a pawn, and Goku Black was seen by Future Zamasu as an abomination for abandoning his godlike form to gain power. They were also ready to immediately attack each other when they were in danger. In the manga, Black was even more brutal, as shown when he not only mortally wounded General Gowasu when the latter tried to reason with Goku Black, but also verbally assaulted him, Stabbed, if Gowasu truly believed that this "third" time would have been successful," alluding to Gowasu's previous attempts to oust him from his plans.
